We’ve finally arrived back home from two lovely weeks in France, which I shall write about another day.
In the meantime, just a short post to say how chuffed I am with my A Level results! Dare I say, it made my Mumma cry!

Goodbye School!
Well yesterday was a memorable, emotional last day of mainstream school/sixth form. 14 years of education; 7 of primary, 5 of high school and 2 of sixth form have all come to an end… time flies!
Going to miss lunchtimes out here!
Friendships
Can deaf people have friends? Why not! We all need friendship in our life; it’s only the true friends that count.
During high school I had a lot of difficulty with friendships and social life; it was a big step up from primary school. Back then, there were seven girls in our year group, I had one best friend; H… and we are still very close today! I don’t know what I’d do without her. Everyone from the primary school went to the local high school, whereas I went to a local state boarding school (as a day student).
Deaf Awareness
So, last week was the official Deaf Awareness Week, and I know this it’s a late update, but I’d like to share a story!
During Year 12, I was a victim of discrimination from one of my teachers, who told me face to face; “you shouldn’t do (this subject) because you’re deaf”. This set me back quite a bit, and I was very hurt and couldn’t believe someone could say that to me. I realised I’m not the only one as deaf people are discriminated all the time, due to our ‘invisible disability’. Therefore I wanted to do something about it.
